Re: Tcl/Tk debugger

Thank you.
How does it compare to Komodo which is a commercial product , in terms
of reliability, friendliness, and number of features ?
We started with a few minor corrections to an existing GUI. But then
we realized that the implementation of some new features was actually
much more time- and energy-consuming than it was expected. I've been
missing the lack of a serious idevelopment tool that for compiled
languages is called debugger.
We are now at a turning point. I have to wrap up the solution of the
problems I've been assigned. Then either we change gear or I will
definitely have to get a debugger.

Thanks,
Maura

You ask about the concept of a breakpoint in a language
where commands might not be evaluated until run-time. I
assure you it is possible to set a meaningful breakpoint
even in such cases.

Here is an example, allowing introspection and modification of
variables at the place where [breakpoint] is called:

proc breakpoint args {
while 1 {
puts -nonewline "$args% "
flush stdout
gets stdin cmd
if {$cmd eq "c"} break
catch {uplevel 1 $cmd} res
if {$res ne ""} {puts $res}
}
}

So I should intclude this proc in my Tcl fil and call this procedure at
the point where I wish the interpreter to stop .. am I right ?
Can you please provide an example of usage of yor procedure ?
I understand "c" is the way to exit it. But I do not know which
argments to pass to it.
It seems to start a Tcl interactive session from which I can then print
out and perhaps set some variables of interest....

Thank you,
Maura
